Depends on the soil, drainage and traffic it'll carry. I'd check with neighbours to get an idea of what works. Could be as simple as removing the topsoil and bringing the grade up to surface plus crown with pit run.

Pit run with crowns plus mild ditching is what works around here for private drives except where the drainage is poor or grades steep enough to cause erosion. Two years ago I re-graded the slope to get more of the yard to drain down the drive to the highway and added another tandem load of pit run. I finally got my tractor work in gear after a wet spring and noticed that the drive is nicely compacted without dips and bumps. I don't think I'll touch it this year except some ditching cleaning. The drive does carry single axle truck traffic for oil delivery and the weight doesn't dint the compacted surface.
